This symbol is used to indicate biological parentage, even when (in rare cases) the child has been put up for adoption and raised with an unrelated adoptive family.
This symbol appears between two people, usually a man and woman, who married but are not known to have conceived a biological child.
This symbol appears between a man and woman who together adopted the child or children named below
